2055 Q. No. 10^-2
mole of KOH is dissolved in 10 litres of
water. What will be the pH of the solution?
12
Ans: pH = 11​


Answer :

Answer:

11

Explanation:

Moles of KOH = [tex]10^{-2}[/tex]

Volume of water = 10 liters

Concentration of KOH is given by

[tex][KOH]=\dfrac{10^{-2}}{10}\\\Rightarrow [KOH]=10^{-3}\ \text{M}[/tex]

[tex][KOH][/tex] is strong base so we have the following relation

[tex][KOH]=[OH^{-}]=10^{-3}\ \text{M}[/tex]

[tex]pOH=-\log [OH^{-}]=-\log10^{-3}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow pH=14-3=11[/tex]

So, pH of the solution is 11
